CLINKEB-EXTRACTOR.

To all whom it may concern:

all as willhereinafter more fullyappear,

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1, is a perspective view illustrating-the implement parts in an open condition ready for engagement with a clinker to beremoved.

In the present invention the carrying rail 7 is of a concavo-convex or channel form in cross-section, so that in either of its hereinafter described positions it will fit snugly to the round shank of the poker rod 1, and be held from lateral play or movement.

8 designates an offset in the carrying rail 7 adjacent to the point of attachment of said bar to the radius links 4, and adapted to provide a convenient hand grip in-the action of clamping and holding a clinker between a side of the poker rod 1 and the head or claw 5 during a clinker extracting operation.

With the present construction, the clinker engaging claw 5 when not required for use is moved back out of the way on the poker rod 1, with the connecting radius links 4 swung back in a position next to. the hand grip 8 as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. When required for use the clinker engaging head or claw '5, is moved forward into operative relation to the point portion of-the poker Having thus fully described my said inrod 1, by, a semi-circular swinging movevention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A clinker extractor comprising, a poker rod having a handle at one end and."

a clinker engagingv formation at the other end, a radius link pivoted to said rod near the handle end thereof, acarrying rail pivoted at one end to'said link, the said carry-.
